LOW METHODS.

The Los Angeles Times says, in the
take no exception to the attempts of our
northern citrus friends to cast ridicule
upon our climate If it affords them graf
ification, we are glad of it, since it does US
no harm. Besides, they are in need, in
that inhospitable portion of the coast, of
some consolation, and if they can get it in
this innocent way, who should object ?"
This expression by the Times is the
worst kind of journalism. 1t is unbecom
ing, and can do nothing but harm to any
section that inspires the policy behind it.
We are not aware that the people referred
to cast ridicule upon the climate of the
South. If any persons do, they do not
voice the sentiment of the representative
people of Northern and Central California.
The truth is that such contention is be-
meath self-respecting men, and the sooner
these back-alley methods and cross
roads tactics are abandoned the better.
"Up this way" we are gratifed at the
progreSsiveness of the southern people,
and rejoiced at their success in building
up the State The soul that is so narrow
as to decry or belittle them is beneath
consideration. We in the north are for
the State of California and every section
of it. Our people are not so shortsighted
as to believe that the truth regarding the
resources and advantages of any section of
our common heritage can be concealed, or
for any particular length of time be mis-
Represented. Climate is a thing that
speaks for itself, and inquiring men will
not long be msled by either exaggeration
or Misrepresentation. If all of the press
of California will resolve, as they should
to put a veto upon newspaper columns
being made the vehicles for petty and
childish methods concerning the settling
of the State, California will be very much
benefited. Let our contemporary under
stand, once for all, that if any claiming to
represent this section indulge in such ex-
preSsions as it charges are used, they do
not voice the sentiment of our people, who
are above these vulgar methods; they have
no need to employ them; there is nothing
whatever in the success of Southern Cali
fornia that does not crafty them. There
is no citizen in the north whose opinion is
worthy any sort Of, respect who entertains
other than sentiments of approval and
feelings of qualification that the south is
attracting the attention she is. Her gain
is ours also.

THE DEATH PENALTY.
Execution of Mrs. Druse for the Murder
of Her Husband.

by telegraph
HERKIMER On. W, February 2Sth.-
Roxana Druse. who murdered her hus-
band, George Druse, in December, 1884, was
hanged for the crime at noon to-day. After
services last evening, Mrs. Druse remained
up until about 11:30. Deputy Sheriff Man.
MO, with Mr.. and Mrs. Waterman, the
death watch, induced her to lie down, and
she had about an hours quiet sleep. She
awakened with start, and upon arising
began to write letters as calmly as she had
at any time during her incarceration. In
one of these she thanked the Sheriff for his
kindness to her, and asked that her body
might be given to her pastor for Christian
burial. After writing she laid down again
and fell into doze. She was attacked with
hysteria in violent form, and it required
considerable effort upon the part of the
watchers to arouse and calm her. During
the night she ate one of the heartiest meals
she had eaten since she was prisoner. She
had about two hours rest after A. NJ, but
did not sleep soundly at any time.
One of her first visitors this morning was
Superintendent Irving Tovey of the Onon-
dago Penitentiary, who brought farewell
from her daughter, who is life prisoner.
The visit had a most exciting effect upon
Mrs. Druse Rev. DIR. Powell visited Mrs.
Druse about 8, and did all in his power to
calm her and prepare her for the awful mo-
ment Every road leading to town was
dotted with sleighs crowded with fur
cloaked men and not few women. The
crowd in the village increased on the arri-
val of every train, and, in spite of the ex-
treme cold. men, women and children
stood about the streets surrounding the
Jail. The execution was witnessed by twen-
ty-fve persons including officials.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Druse made a
confession to DIR. Powell, her spiritual adj
wiser, in which she declared that Charles
Gates had instigated her to commit the
murder, and says that heprovided her with
a revolver. She declared that after she
fired the first shot Gates fired three success
sive shots from window. She confessed
to having cut up her husbands body and
that Gates took the body away and burned
in She related that she killed Druse
because he had treated her cruelty and
brutally.
AT Hap Mrs. Druse and DR.. Powell
kuelt on the floor of the scaffold under the
rope. Mrs. Druse held her daughters
bonnet in her hand and closed her eyes
while DR.. Powell offered prayer. Mrs.
Druse was dressed in blach cashmere, with
laced neck and sleeves. She wore small
shawl over her shoulders. She MAIN
tanned her composure on the scaffold until
the cap was drawn over her face, when she
began to moan, and finally began to scream
so loudly that she could he heard in the
street adjoining the Jail. The trap was
sprung, and after she fell she made but one
convulsive movement.
Just before going to the scaffold, Mrs.
Druse made an affidavit declaring that her
daughter Mary, now confined in the On
nandago Penitentiary, had nothing what
ever TO do with the killing of her father.

THE State Board of Health has issued a
timely pamphlet of warning to the people
to take precautionary steps to prevent the
spread of smallpox. The Board insists
upon vaccination, and urges the people
not to neglect this important preventive
agency. The smallpox pest has appeared
in one section of the State. 1t was inn
ported from Mexico, and so far as new in
cursions are concerned rigid border quaran-
tine can probably prevent them. But only
BY vaccination can its spread from the cases
now in the State be prevented. vacci-

MR.. GARLAND.

Says the Alta California: "The San
Francisco Post attempts to draw a
parallel between Attorney-General Gar
land and Lord Bacon, to prejudice the
formers case as a prospective candidate
Tor the vacancy on the Supreme Bench.
MIR. Garland had already indicated his
desire not to be appointed to that Bench,
tor personal reasons which every gentle
man appreciates, so that the matter can
be discussed without reference to its
bearing on the appointment of Judge.
The attempted analogy is simply viru-
lent and malicious. Its animus comes
from the Bell Telephone Company,
which availed itself of popular and even
scientific disbelief in the profit and
utility ola new application of electricity,
to get, by questionable means, control of
an invention which it has held and used
IN such way as to incense the public
against its methods.
The Pan Electric Telephone Company
offered an escape from its exactions, by
essaying to give the people the benefit of
the laws of their country. Mr.. Garland
held some of its stock, which he acquired
long before he went into the Cabinet, and
held at time when he was in no public
position that could in any way affect the
prospective conflict between the two
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1887-05-31

companies. When he became Attorney
General the Bell people turned upon
him, assisted by partisan press, with all
the malice of weak case and unpopular
cause. They sought to hide themselves
in the clamor against public officer, and
shrewdly and successfully played for the
support of the minority political party
which made their fight its own. Mr..
Garland, throughout the ordeal, has
done just what an innocent and honor
able man would do, and is as stainless
and incorrupt in intention and in action
as the most scrupulous of his country
men could desire. The attacks upon
him have been peculiarly venomous and
inconsistent, when we consider that they
come from the organs of party whose
leaders have joined in enterprises OF
private speculation which depended upon
their covert official action, as well as in
others where their participancy was as
blameless as his. OF this latter class of
cases is the patent for type-setting ma
chine by using a molten matrix-a
device which promises TO revolutionize
the whole printing trade by substituting
the mechanical for the manual opera
ton. The stock in this invention was
taken con the ground floor" by members
of Mr.. Arthur's Cabinet, by Republican
United States Senators whose names are
now used in connection with the next
Presidential candidacy, and its value
is directly dependent on its
adoption by the Government in
the public printing office, provided it
shall prove practical machine. Now,
if Mr.. Garland be Lord Bacon, the Re-
publican party will need more saltpetre
to save its bacon than the country can
supply. But those who attack him know
that there is no shadow of foundation for
the attempted impeachment OF his integ-
rity, and they are merely provoking re-
prisals which will make the method they
have adopted the odium of our politics" i"
